Trivia
In the original show concept, Barbara Diffy was going to have a detachable head and a robotic body, which is why the character is wearing chokers and turtlenecks throughout the first season - to cover up where her head was supposed to detach. However, all scenes of this idea were cut out once the episodes began airing, despite clips being included in some of the early advertisements. This was because, at the time, Iraqi beheading videos were being circulated on the internet and Disney did not want to appear insensitive or mocking.

Goofs
When Phil and Keely's teacher is handing out a test, it can be seen that some of the tests are already marked with an "F".

Quotes
Phil Diffy: I don't wanna be your girlfriend. I wanna be your *boy*friend.
[stops startled and off Keely's equally surprised look]
Phil Diffy: I mean, your friend... who's a boy. A guy. A guy friend.
Keely Teslow: Why didn't you tell me?
Phil Diffy: I didn't know how.
Keely Teslow: Phil, you can tell me anything.
[takes him by his shoulders]
Keely Teslow: I'm your girlfriend. I, I, I mean... your friend who's a girl. A gal. A gal friend.

I love "Phil of the Future"! It is such a great Disney Channel Show. At first I was skeptical at the commercials thinking it would be just another dumb show, but I was really surprised. Once I started watching it I liked it more and more. It's pretty funny. I think it throws the jokes in at just the right time and I also think there are so many cute moments in this between Phil and Keely (I know, I'm a Pheely fan!). Pim is a really hilarious character and most of the words from her mouth are big laughs. I think all the acting is well done and that it is a good change from the usual shows because it's a completely different theme from everything else with the Diffy's coming from the future. This show seems to have a pretty good range in fans to. Older and younger kids can like this. Younger kids because it's funny and has all of these cool gadgets and older kids because of the great chemistry between Pheely and also the comedy. I'd definitely recommend this as I think it's the best show Disney Channel has right now (prefer this to Suite Life and Raven).
